Soap making in colonial times was a smelly and arduous task. You had to drip your own lye and collect whatever fats were available, which were usually animal fats. The animal fat would be rendered down until you got a pure tallow, which is basically fat grease without any of the burnt crunchy bits. The lye was made by collecting all of your wood ash and putting it into a hopper lined with corn shucks or woolen cloth. And then clear cold water was slowly poured through the ashes and the resultant liquid dripped, or dribbled, through the hole in one end into a container. And since life was rough, colorants and perfumes were rarely added because they weren't as readily available and considered too fancy for most of the rough and rugged frontier. No soap making kits were available in those days!

Now, in these modern times, soap-making kits are available practically anywhere, and can be bought at wholesale outlets specializing in candle and soap making supplies. Whether you buy a read made soap making kit, or buy the items to make your own soap making kit, the possibilities are endless!
